INTERNATIONAL OBESITY, BARIATRIC AND
METABOLIC SURGERY SUMMIT AND EXPO
Notes:
Massive obesity results in serious diseases. Surgery
has frequently been the only means to achieve and
sustain significant weight loss and resolve co-morbidities.
Thus, operations providing weight loss by gastric restriction
with early satiety and especially by intestinal bypass with
controlledmalabsorptionhaveevolvedover thepast 50years.
A brief history of bariatric operations is given, including their
major complications, management and potential nutritional
sequelae. The bypass operations are now being used to
resolve diabetes mellitus type-2 in patients with lesser
obesity. Oral supplementation is necessary postoperatively
for vitamin D3, calcium, iron, B 12 and folate. Currently, the
MGB and OAGB are being performed, which are fairly rapid
and simple with excellent resolution of co-morbidities,
durable weight loss and ease of reversal.
